1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the infectious cause of Kaposi's sarcoma and is also associated with two B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases, primary effusion lymphoma and the plasmablastic form of multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV is also found in the B-cell fraction of peripheral blood mononucleocytes of some KS patients. Despite in vivo infection of B cells and the ability of KSHV to infect many cell types in culture, to date B cells in culture have been resistant to KSHV infection. However, as shown here, the lack of infection is not due to the inability of B cells to support latent KSHV infection. When KSHV DNA is introduced into B cells, the virus is maintained as an episome and can establish and maintain latency over the course of months. As in all primary effusion lymphoma cell lines, there is a low level of spontaneous lytic replication in latently infected BJAB cells. Importantly, viral gene expression is similar to that of primary effusion lymphoma cell lines. Furthermore, the virus can be reactivated to higher levels with specific stimuli and transmitted to other cells, indicating that this is a productive infection. Thus B cells in culture are capable of establishing, maintaining, and reactivating from latency. These studies provide a controlled system to analyze how KSHV alters B cells during KSHV latency and reactivation.
